Has this forum been exhausted?
My schedule has not allowed me to come back very often, however when I do, the messages are old and some from the last time I was on here.
Perhaps we should all try to engage more, its a great forum and I can't imagine it not being here..

First we have to ask is why forum owner is out Phantom......No promotion and no assistance to us....
I guess people have an age and talked a lot and there is another forum with more active members than this. And there you have facebooks and the like....
I guess we would have to ask japanese knowledge people coming here to participate as they are the source.... |

Not the case for me, I'm also a member on StratTalk, a forum with more/active members and they also have a more 'lively' Tokai section.
Yet, this forum is my main site, it's my startup/home page and I visit several times a day.
I must admit that after 'the rumble' from a few years back, with some active members being banned (→ just an observation @Ned, not a right or wrong judgment on my behalf) the number of discussions have been reduced.
I still see this forum as my No1! But I agree that some more 'lively' discussions/reviews/chats would be welcome.
I also still see numerous new members* (*→ see 'recent joined' memberlist pages → http://www.tokaiforum.com/memberlist.php) making posts and asking questions, but without many responses it fades.
I think it's up to the handfull 'regular' (us ) members to kickstart this forum. |

I still like it - I've been a member since 2003 it's not like it was back in the day in terms of activity. This was the definitive MIJ forum at the time. I think there's more info out there now (other forums, Facebook and social media as a whole). I think that has had an impact.
I'll admit that I kind of drive by the "hey what's my guitar worth?" posts these on here these days. |

I joined here about 10 years ago and the fine folks here helped me with their knowledge, i've learned a thing or two and try to help the people who come around now as a repayment to that old guard. I do find myself wondering if there isn't only 10 or so active members left.
I do like how this thread was your 666th post Phantom. |

there may not be the same amount of interest in MIJs, or Tokai guitars as there was say 10 years ago but that should not be a reflection on the TF, the membership, nor the ownership here
It is what it is & we should all appreciate the TF for all of the positives we have gained from being here all these years
And many thanks to Ned for this great place  |

I can't believe I've been around since 2006. Still pop by, but not to post really.
My tune of the day thread is at page 135, I'm very proud of it  |

My opinion since the last 3 or 4 years ? The most boring forum I know...Remembering 8 years back this was a great place to be. |

How about we all make threads showing some of the guitars we have? Might spark some conversation |
